Super Bowl Sunday Grub

I love Super Bowl Sunday for many reasons and this year was no different. There was Luke Bryan, Lady Gaga, epic commercials, delicious food, and all I had to do was suffer through a little football. It was a good day to have a cheat meal and whip up some of the hubbies favorite dishes! Enjoy!

3 teaspoons chili powder

1 tablespoon lime juice

Tortilla chips

Baked Wings

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

20 chicken wings or drumettes

Sauce of choice…pictured above is BBQ & Buffalo

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 425°F.

In a bowl, combine flour, chili powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Coat the wings in the flour evenly, shaking off any excess. Place the floured wings on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer. Bake for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skin is crispy and golden brown.
Preheat oven to 500°F.

In a separate bowl, stir the cooked wings in the sauce and coat them evenly. Place the coated wings back onto the baking sheet and spread them in a single layer. Bake for 8 minutes, until sauce is bubbly and caramelized.

Pizza My Heart Stuffed Crust Pizza

Dough Ingredients:

2 packets (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for bowl and brushing

2 teaspoons coarse salt

4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface

Recipe:

Pour 1 1/2 cups warm water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Whisk sugar, oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Add flour and stir until a sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and brush top with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead 1 or 2 times before using.

To freeze, you can wrap the dough in plastic and freeze it in a resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months. If you plan to use it in a recipe that calls for half a batch, divide it before freezing.

Stuffed Crust Ham & Cheese Pizza

Ingredients:

1 can (13.8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated classic pizza crust

7 sticks (1 oz each) string cheese

1/2 cup pizza sauce

Package of Cubed Ham

2 cups shredded mocheese blend (8 oz)

Recipe:

Heat oven to 425°F. Grease 12-inch pizza pan with shortening or cooking spray. Unroll dough; place in pan. Starting at center, press out dough to edge of pan, pressing up and extending over sides by at least 1 inch. Place string cheese around inside edge of crust. Fold extended edge of dough over cheese; pinch firmly to seal.

I shaped mine in the shape of a heart using the cheese under the dough to hold the shape.
